MRI reveals patient has cervical stenosis. It was determined he should undergo bilateral cervical laminectomy at C3
Question:
MRI reveals patient has cervical stenosis. It was determined he should undergo bilateral cervical laminectomy at C3 through C6 and fusion. The edges of the laminectomy were then cleaned up with a Kerrison and foraminotomies were done at C4, C5, and,,C6. The stenosis is central: a facetectomy is performed by using a burr. Nerve root canals were freed by additional resection of the facet, and compression of the spinal cord was relieved by removal of a tissue overgrowth around the foramen. Which CPT codes should be used for this procedure?
